LOLI'm not even sure what Christie was doing can be called jogging. It was more like a bent-knee shuffle. Most people walk faster than that. And someone please refresh my memory...did Christie actually refer to it as "running" at one point?

dasboot asks: <<What do you think she will name her 5K?>>
--------------------------------------------------------
Christie kept mentioning she wanted the word "love" in the name. Well, they briefly flashed a view of Christie's notepad, where she was jotting her ideas and I noticed she had "Laps for Love" written on it, so that must be the tentative name.

I do like that name (Laps for Love). That was sad seeing her run like that. I have to admit, it takes a lot of guts to know you're being filmed & knowing how you must look.....to be so desparate to change your life you'd be seen that way. In a way, I have to admire Christie for doing it. I know I would rather gain 100 lbs. than be shown on TV like that (I know, I know, I'm a coward). JMO

I am by no means a runner, I hate to run, but Christie-come on already. She is so dramatic about the accomplishment thing. "I ran a mile this morning and now anotherr 2. I'm doing great!" The way she runs, too, OMG! Seeing her trainer try to run NEXT to her is hilarious, it's like he's jumping up and down. At least he's trying to keep her motivated, right. I hope Rhonda chose her to do this 5k thing so she will work the lower half of her body more to get it more toned. Her top half is wasting away (especially her face) and her bottom half is neglected-how odd? Hopefully, Sommer can give her some tips on how to even herself out!

She is bottom heavy. I have a friend who is like Christie. Thin on top and big on bottom- she will always be like that, my friend never wears shorts or short skirts-she wears skirts to the ankle. Hilary Clinton is like that also.

I agree BBK that may just be her body type.Some people find that type of figure attractive.  I've seen a lot worse than Christie.I also think you have to consider where Christie has come from.People like Sommer and Christie who have gone from very heavy to a more normal weight a lot of times have a real disconnect between mind and body.She's slow but I think she's doing okay.

I think running is the most horrible sport in the world, for everyone! When I see Christie running all I can think is OW OW OW OW, everything shaking all around. It certainly doesnt make me want to go out and start a 5k! I prefer spinning, not so hard on the joints. You know shes going to have an "injury" end up on pain medicine and start back at square one. Couldnt they have found something easier on her out of shape body? Why isnt Jodie running with her? What happened to supporting each other?

I also think running (especially on concrete) is the worst exercise a heavy person can do. The force on your knees is something like 3 times yours weight with EACH STEP! My sister-in-law used to run faithfully when she was heavy. She ended up losing a lot of weight (looks great now), but ruined her knees & had to have knee surgery eventually. Doctor said because of the abuse put on her knees running. I think Rhonda gave her a wrong assignment to do a 5k. That's just plain crazy. You can tell it bothers Christie to just run, she looks like she's in pain, but too proud (or embarrassed) to complain to Rhonda about it.

>Rhonda about it. DivineWine, et al. about the Christie and running being wrong, I completely agree with you! Geez Louise! Christie had an "asthma" attack (not sure if that's what was going on..) while doing jumping jacks. Rhonda wants her to RUN A 5K?? Please. I haven't seen evidence that Christie could WALK a 5K without struggling! (I'd also LOVE to see Rhonda "coach" Christie by offering to run right beside her. I'd get the popcorn out for that fiasco! Not that anyone would want to see Rhonda in spandex!) I'm an athlete, but that did NOT happen overnight. If someone had told me in the beginning, "OK, next week you will be running a 5k" --that would have been nothing short of abusive! If I had felt pressured to complete a 5K initially? I would be injured (no doubt) and would not be as far along as I am now. That would have put me backwards, not forwards. This isn't "gains" in the long-run, it's "losses" and with such a negative beginning? I don't need a crystal ball to see the long-lasting effects: Christie will quit later, and go back to her sloth. She needs proper coaching and not to be pushed so obviously far past her abilities this early. Why not have her participate in a MS Walk or charity-of-choice walk? (Do some good while getting some exercise?) But RUNNING a 5K??? I hope a whole lot of training we aren't seeing is going on! (I doubt it) And, everyone is right about running on concrete/ asphalt. Beginning runners need to wear proper running shoes and run on sand or grass (taking care not to turn an ankle, of course) until they build up the ability to run distances on soft surfaces, they have NO business road-running (it's a lot worse than treadmill running). And, don't get me started on where is the "proper stretching" education??? --I agree that Rhonda is wrong, wrong, wrong on this one. If I were Christie, I'd do a different kind of running, and that would be AWAY from RHONDA! I'm all for exercise. But, NOT in a harmful way, and that's what this is, no doubt about it. If Christie thinks she has "Body Image Issues" now? Wait until she REALLY can't move around because her knees and ankles are SHOT! SOH---the house for the masochistic sheep that are the current HG. It's getting harder and harder to watch...

Well said and very good points made EMTBGRL.Christie's goals should be more realistic and planned out with more care for her long term health.The knees, joints and ankles of someone who has been previously obese are likely already damaged from carrying that weight around.They certainly don't need to be subjected to running on pavement habitually.A walk would have been much more beneficial and realistic.I know what you mean about Rhonda and her masochistic tendencies.I am thinking specifically of PJ from season one.Rhonda assigned her a trainer who had the 200+ 18 year old girl running up and down STAIRS until she finally FELL BADLY ripping a hole in her leg the size of a baseball.It turned out to be a pretty serious abcess that required a hospital visit.Irresponsible and thoughtless.

EMTBGRL, I agree. I don't know if it's because Christie has not yet become used to her "new body" after rapid weight loss, or because of loose skin, or simply that she is sluggish, but I have noticed that Christie usually looks kinda uncomfortable moving. Also, as another poster mentioned, Christie should be very careful, because if she gets injured, pain pills would be bad news considering her history of addiction. Rhonda has actually run a marathon herself...she talks about it in her blog. Also, remember towards the beginning of this season when she was in "workout" clothes during Jessica's "running away from your problems" assignment? She was running right along with Jessica, and in my opinion, looked much better than Jessica. I thought she actually looked better in those "workout" clothes than she does in what she usually wears...outfits that look inspired by Andy Paige! boybeautyknockout, I agree...Christie is bottom-heavy. She will always have that basic shape, and no amount of exercise will ever really change that. This shape can look great if it's toned, but I'm not sure running is necessarily the best exercise for this...sometimes the pear shape develops bulky leg muscle fast, accentuating the bottom-heavy look. In my opinion, Christie should not ignore developing her upper body...this could help balance out her overall look. Also, in my opinion, Christie has contributed to her body looking out of whack by having it surgically altered. She chose to have surgery on her arms to remove excess skin, and make them look trimmer, but left the loose skin hanging on her legs. Now Rhonda is leading her to believe that the excess skin on her legs resulting from GBS will magically disappear if she runs?
